I'm not sure what to do with a translation marked "review requested", but I've tested the options dialog with the French translation. The strings look fine (to me, not native French speaker!), but some of the access keys are not in the strings so they appear in brackets at the end. Also, many are vowels, which isn't recommended in English at least.

Hi,

You may use the translation if you want (just like you may use partial translations if a translator e.g. quits or misses an update), but my experience is that if someone requests a review, he/she isn't really ready to release it just yet. To be on the safe side, you can always PM/e-mail the translator and ask about it. And if you find any inconsistencies or peculiarities, PM about them too (there are several developers that do just that, checking the translations for e.g. access key conflicts).

You could also ask one of the French translators that frequent this site if he/she would be kind enough as to review the translation in question.

There is a new version. Although it says 100% for many of the languages it isn't so. There is a new install.rdf snippet, so even if all the dtd strings are translated you can still fill in your name and the little description. Translations which have not been done recently have English strings in them and show as 100% but still need to be translated.

ok maybe also copy this very message in the special "contact" tab of your extension WTS board so that you can target specifically your translator with one mail only.

Sometimes I am on irc://moznet/BabelZilla but you can also drop a word in the shoutbox

suggestion: if old string is changed, say about it in this thread. now i got email "extension updated, translate it" i came to site and see "100% is translated"... (i have copy of translation, so it's not hard to see that changed) P. S. of course such function should be provided by babelzilla, but...

Partly my fault too. I had downloaded some partial translations with strings replaced by the English, then uploaded them again. So Babelzilla thinks those are 100% even though there are untranslated strings in them. No way Babelzilla can tell if a string is really untranslated or if it is supposed to be the same as the English string. I'll try not to do that in the next upload.
